Axel Tuanzebe was the only goalscorer as DR Congo battled through extra-time to beat Jamaica and confirm their return to the World Cup for the first time since attending as Zaire in 1977. An extended qualifying campaign for Congo culminated in this match in Guadalajara, and after an encouraging AFCON campaign, the onus was on the Leopards to put the resurgent Reggae Boyz to the sword. A spirited match was not short on chances, though it was severely lacking in clinical edge.
Both sides struggled to make the most of their various chances, with Jamaica goalkeeper Andre Blake producing an imperious performance between the sticks, but he was eventually confounded in the first-half of extra-time as Tuanzebe arrived at the back post to tap a corner home. That one-goal lead proved insurmountable for Jamaica, who pressed hard for an equaliser but could not find one and will now wait at least another four years to play at the World Cup.
Congo will join Group K, alongside Uzbekistan and Colombia, and will face Portugal in Houston to open their World Cup campaign this June. Follow the action from Guadalajara LIVE below with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog, complete with expert insight and analysis.

DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:46 , Arthur Ferridge120+6mins: Andre Blake has just produced an absolutely ridiculous double save to keep Jamaica in this. That will be a legendary clip if they somehow nick an equaliser here.

DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:42 , Arthur Ferridge120+2mins: A rapid Congo counter provides a gilt-edge chance to finally put this game to bed. Cipenga streaks away and squares to the Watford man Kayembe, who launches his effort over the crossbar. Dreadful finish from the substitute.

DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:39 , Arthur Ferridge120mins: Another stoppage now as Moutoussamy goes down injured. He hobbles off with the support of a team-mate and Pickel comes on in his stead.

Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:37 , Arthur Ferridge118mins: Cipenga gets away on the left and squares to Bakumbu, whose shot is blocked. Jamaica counter desperately but Mason-Clark’s cross is behind the goal.
DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:35 , Arthur Ferridge116mins: Referee Facundo Tello has left the pitch in tears with this injury to be replaced by the fourth official. The match is back underway, and this match will probably get even longer once we account for injury time at the end of extra-time.
DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:30 , Arthur Ferridge111mins: The Jamaica players are rightfully apoplectic as the referee appears to have pulled up with an injury.
DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:28 , Arthur Ferridge109mins: Leon Bailey spots Mpasi off his line and has a pop from a long, long way out, but he misses the target. A steward behind the goal is collateral damage.

HALF TIME, EXTRA TIME: DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:20 , Arthur Ferridge105+3mins: Jamaica really stepped on the gas after Tuanzebe’s goal, but they could not find an equaliser. They have another quarter of an hour to get back level and force a penalty shootout.
DR Congo 1-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:16 , Arthur Ferridge104mins: Well, goes without saying that that goal completely flips the state of this game. Jamaica must throw everything at this in the hopes of finding an equaliser and forcing a penalty shootout. Likewise, Congo will look to kill it off. Should be all-out attack from here on out.

DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica

DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Wednesday 1 April 2026 00:07 , Arthur Ferridge96mins: Cipenga has changed this game since coming on - he’s been superb! His latest cross wins a corner via Bell.

FULL TIME: DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica

DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:48 , Arthur Ferridge89mins: It is end to end stuff now. Mpasi comes way out of his box to cut out a Jamaica cross before setting the Congo back on the counterattack. Wissa sees a shot denied before Bakambu tries an audacious backheel, which Blake saves. He was offside anyway, obviously.
NO GOAL! DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:45 , Arthur Ferridge85mins: Not again! For the second time tonight, Bakambu has the ball in the back of the net but the flag is up!
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:42 , Arthur Ferridge83mins: Kayembe has a shot from the edge of the area and it has Blake worried for a moment, but it flies wide.

DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:41 , Arthur Ferridge82mins: Bongonda looks to take a cross on the volley first-time and he connects with it well, but the shot is deflected well over the bar. Jamaica are rather fortunate to come away with a goal-kick, though.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:38 , Arthur Ferridge79mins: A miraculous recovery from Hayden, who is promptly back to his feet and we will play on. Not long left in regular time now...
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:37 , Arthur Ferridge78mins: The game was picking up a bit too much momentum, so luckily Hayden has hit the turf with cramp to give us a little break in play. Thank goodness.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:36 , Arthur Ferridge77mins: Congo attempt a long-throw, despite their usual taker Sadiki having been withdrawn. This attempt bounces rather pathetically into the hands of Blake.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:33 , Arthur Ferridge74mins: Two changes for Jamaica, too, as Cadamarteri and Campbell are replaced by Cephas and Mason-Clark.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:32 , Arthur Ferridge73mins: Sadiki hobbles off here and is limping heavily as he does so. Looks like that will be his day done as Mukau replaces him.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:31 , Arthur Ferridge72mins: Uh-oh. Sadiki is down again.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica

DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:29 , Arthur Ferridge69mins: Bad news for the Sunderland fans among you as Noah Sadiki is down injured and looks to be in considerable discomfort. He is clutching his left thigh, but it appears to only be cramp.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:27 , Arthur Ferridge67mins: A tantalising cross from Campbell is just barely in front of Bailey! That could have been the opener.
In the aftermath of that missed chance, a change for Congo sees Mbuku replaced by Kayembe of Watford.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:25 , Arthur Ferridge65mins: Bailey, making a rare start, is really putting his back into this match as he tries to inspire Jamaica. He goes alone down the right flank, but loses the ball and fouls his marker as he attempts to recover.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:22 , Arthur Ferridge63mins: Jamaica attack without taking a corner for a little bit of variety, but Pinnock’s long throw is dealt with by Mbemba, who dove heroically head-first in front of Cadamarteri to beat the Wrexham man to the punch.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:21 , Arthur Ferridge61mins: A break in play here as Pinnock argues for a penalty, but the referee gives him no quarter. As we get back underway, Jamaica fail to produce a shot on target from a further two corners.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:19 , Arthur Ferridge60mins: Jamaica’s fourth corner of the day goes begging again. Neither side has been any kind of clinical today, it must be said.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:17 , Arthur Ferridge56mins: The Reggae Boyz take their turn to attack now and Leon Bailey wins a corner. He then steps up to take it, but his back-post pass is over the heads of everyone in the 18-yard box. Goal kick.
Changes for Congo as Elia, who has been superb today, is replaced by Bongonda.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:14 , Arthur Ferridge55mins: As I press send on that post, Masuaku shoots from about 40 yards and misses well wide. As you were, chaps.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:14 , Arthur Ferridge54mins: Wissa plays Mbuku into acres of space on the left and he whips a dangerous cross into the area, but Jamaica track back at pace and in numbers. Pinnock gets the block in this time, but Congo are looking increasingly dangerous.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:09 , Arthur Ferridge50mins: DR Congo win their first corner of the night, and while it beats the first man, it does not beat the referee. He gets in the way of it’s flight before any player and we restart with a drop-ball for the Congo.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:08 , Arthur Ferridge49mins: For the record, neither side made a substitution at half-time.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:06 , Arthur Ferridge47mins: WHAT A SAVE! Blake is at full-stretch to deny Bakambu’s curling effort from the edge of the area. Superb stop from the Philadelphia Union man!
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:05 , Arthur Ferridge46mins: Elia picks up where he left off in the first-half and gets away down the right flank, but his cross does not meet a blue shirt.
2ND HALF: DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 23:04 , Arthur FerridgeWe’re back underway! Who will be the man to make the difference here?
HALF-TIME: DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:49 , Arthur FerridgeWell, it hasn’t really been a classic, but that is not to say it hasn’t been eventful. Plenty of chances and some very entertaining football, but, crucially, no goals. Let’s see if that changes after the break.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:49 , Arthur Ferridge45+2mins: Some confusion here as the corner is headed behind and the referee initially signals for a second corner before changing his mind and giving a goal-kick instead.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:47 , Arthur Ferridge45+1mins: A better spell from Jamaica here. Cadamarteri gets into the box and wins a corner. Can they break the deadlock before half-time?
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:46 , Arthur Ferridge45mins: A minimum of three minutes will be added on.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:42 , Arthur Ferridge42mins: CLOSE! Bailey has a go from long range, and his effort flashes just wide of Mpasi’s post!
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:41 , Arthur Ferridge40mins: Another clumsy foul from a Jamaican on a Congolese. This time Palmer is the offender, Wissa the victim. Cards stay in the referee’s pocket, though.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:40 , Arthur Ferridge39mins: Congo will really be furious with themselves if they don’t manage to score before half-time. They’ve been all over Jamaica.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:37 , Arthur Ferridge36mins: Webster catches Elia late, prompting the referee to take down his name and number. That is our first yellow card of the evening.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:34 , Arthur Ferridge33mins: Blake is keeping Jamaica in this! Wissa spins Palmer and plays Elia in behind. He gets around the corner and shoots from a tight angle, but Blake keeps it out with his feet. The Reggae Boyz are all at sea here.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:32 , Arthur Ferridge30mins: With that said, a very smart move from Jamaica sees Decordova-Reid tee one up for Palmer to shoot, but it is well blocked by Mbemba. The resultant corner comes to nothing as the clock ticks past the half-hour mark.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:30 , Arthur Ferridge29mins: Jamaica can barely get out of their own half here. Congo look far more likely at the moment.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:27 , Arthur Ferridge27mins: An errant Bakambu cross looks like sneaking into Blake’s top corner, but he sees it over the bar.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:26 , Arthur Ferridge25mins: Play resumes.
And that takes us to the drinks break. It is 26C in Guadalajara at the moment.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:23 , Arthur Ferridge23mins: Elia shoots into the side netting from a tight angle.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:23 , Arthur Ferridge21mins: Getting scrappy in the middle of the park now, and Webster manages to win a foul for Jamaica as Wissa tracks back to clean him out from behind.
Palmer lofts the cross in for Pinnock, whose header is tame and easily dealt with.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:20 , Arthur Ferridge19mins: Mpasi’s turn to come off his line now, as he hares to the edge of the box to deny Decordova-Reid a shooting chance.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:16 , Arthur Ferridge15mins: Another great stop from Blake! A really snappy move from Blake sends Mbuku in behind but the Jamaican keeper gets down quickly to collect his cross.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:13 , Arthur Ferridge12mins: Mbuku’s cross meets the head of Bakambu, but he is denied again as Blake comes up trumps with a good save.
Wissa gets on the ball and drives into the area but is dispossessed at a crucial moment.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:12 , Arthur Ferridge11mins: Palmer catches Sadiki with a high hand to give Congo a free-kick on the right flank, some 40 yards from goal.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:09 , Arthur Ferridge8mins: This has been a really positive start from Congo. They look so composed on the ball, knocking it about with a good bit of pace. Jamaica are doing what they can to impede them, but are plainly on the back foot in the early exchanges.
NO GOAL! DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:06 , Arthur Ferridge5mins: Heartbreak for Congo! Bakambu thinks he’s opened the scoring as he taps home from Elia’s low cross, but the flag is up for offside.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:04 , Arthur Ferridge4mins: Tuanzebe beats his man and plays another direct through ball up to Bakambu, but he overcooks it slightly and Blake lets it run behind for a goal-kick.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:03 , Arthur Ferridge2mins: Not absolutely sure why, but there is an awful lot of booing coming out of the stands, seemingly for both teams.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:02 , Arthur Ferridge1min: Blake is quick off his line to claim a long ball forward from Wan-Bissaka to Bakambu.
DR Congo 0-0 Jamaica
Tuesday 31 March 2026 22:01 , Arthur Ferridge1min: Jamaica boot the ball into touch immediately from kick-off.

Axel Tuanzebe on taking Congo back to the World Cup: 'The biggest game in my career'
Tuesday 31 March 2026 21:42 , Arthur Ferridge"I'd definitely consider it as the biggest game in my football career.
"We're very privileged to have everything that we need. We're not longing for anything andit enables us to go and perform the best we can.
"This is one of those moments where this is bigger than just football, this is leaving a legacy behind, a moment in our history that we'll always remember and always cherish."
When did these sides last qualify for the World Cup?
Tuesday 31 March 2026 21:35 , Arthur FerridgeDR Congo are hoping to end a 52-year wait to qualify for the World Cup tonight.
They last graced the finals in 1974, then known as Zaire, and crashed out in the group stage, failing to score as they conceded 14 times in their three matches.
Jamaica, meanwhile, have only been to the World Cup once, back in 1998. They were grouped with Argentina, Croatia and Japan.
The Reggae Boyz also exited in the group stage despite beating Japan 2-1 thanks to a brace from ex-Hull City and Tranmere Rovers man Theorore Whitmore.
The players arrive
Tuesday 31 March 2026 21:26 , Arthur FerridgeA certain Abbey Road vibe to these arrival photos.


Bad news, Congo supporters
Tuesday 31 March 2026 21:18 , Arthur FerridgeMichel Kuka Mboladinga, the fan who caught the eye at AFCON for holding this pose throughout DR Congo matches, will not attend today’s game as he failed to obtain a visa.
The stunt was in honour of Patrice Lumumba, a Congolese independence campaigner who was assassinated in 1961.

Team news
Tuesday 31 March 2026 21:09 , Arthur FerridgePlenty of Premier League pedigree in these two sides.
Sunderland’s Noah Sadiki and Aaron Wan-Bissaka shore up the Congo defence, as does Axel Tuanzebe, who evidently is not injured, as was reported. Yoane Wissa starts, too.
The same is true of Jamaica, who have Ethan Pinnock and Bobby Decordova Reid in the starting XI.
DR CONGO TEAM NEWS
Tuesday 31 March 2026 21:06 , Arthur FerridgeDR Congo XI: Mpasi, Masuaku, Mbemba, Tuanzebe, Wan-Bissaka, Moutoussamy, Sadiki, Elia, Wissa, Mbuku, Bakambu
JAMAICA TEAM NEWS
Tuesday 31 March 2026 21:02 , Arthur FerridgeJamaica XI: Blake, Webster, Pinnock, King, Latibeaudiere, Palmer, Hayden, Reid, Bailey, Cadamarteri, T. Campbell
Subs: Knight, Waite, Bell, D. Lowe, Fray, Merrick, Hall, Cephas, J. Lowe, N. Campbell, Brooks, Mason-Clark
Yoane Wissa
Tuesday 31 March 2026 20:56 , Arthur FerridgeNewcastle’s Yoane Wissa will hope to fire his nation back to the World Cup today. But can he?
He has struggled for form since joining the Magpies, with his injury-addled debut campaign bringing just one goal in 13 Premier League appearances.
He was not a part of that promising AFCON campaign, either. Will his presence help or hinder today?
Jamaica captain Andre Blake previews the match
Tuesday 31 March 2026 20:48 , Arthur Ferridge“It’s going to be a tough game. There are some things we are going to have to work on, but the next one, it doesn’t matter how, we just need to win the game, and we are looking forward to it.”

Standard Sport prediction
Tuesday 31 March 2026 20:32 , Arthur FerridgeWith a spot at the World Cup finals on the line, both DR Congo and Jamaica will surely give this match their all.
The African contingent, while further from home, can take heart from a positive AFCON outing, but Jamaica’s extended unbeaten run will also fill them with confidence.
With both sides missing key forwards, too, this could prove a defensive battle, and Congo’s physicality could see them through.
DR Congo to win, 2-1.
Jamaica early team news
Tuesday 31 March 2026 20:24 , Arthur FerridgeBirmingham’s Demarai Gray is unavailable for Jamaica with an injury, as is Kevon Lambert.
